Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

These pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese icing were made for a local family's Thanksgiving Day dessert!  They smelled so good baking that my son kept asking for a cupcake!  I guess I'll have to make him some!  Two pumpkin cakes accompanied these cupcakes, but since I have already posted a picture and price of the pumpkin cakes, I will not be reposting that information.

Cream Cheese Icing per Batch: $2.92 x 2 = $5.84

These cupcakes were made for my class for Halloween, so there is no direct cost for them.  Let’s just say there weren’t any left when class was dismissed.

Halloween Cupcakes

A good friend of mine has a daughter who I make cakes for every year.  A few weeks before Halloween the daughter asked my friend if I could make their family a few Halloween cupcakes.  The mom asked the daughter what kind she wanted.  The result was four Frankenstein’s Monster, four ghosts, and four pumpkin cupcakes!  All were made with yellow cake and decorated with green, white, orange, brown, and black buttercream icing. The foils of course matched the theme of each cupcake!  They were so cute I made a few extra for my husband and son! 

The final cost of these cupcakes was:

Buttercream Icing per Batch: $2.55 x 2 = $5.10

Yellow Cake: $1.93 x .5 = $.97

Foils: $.50

Labor: $6.00 per hour x 1.5 = $9
